Afghan Probe: More Than a Dozen US Troops Involved in Massacre

A member of the Afghan parliamentary investigation team into last weekend’s massacre of civilians, Kandahar MP Naheem Lalai Hameedzai, says that the probe has concluded the massacre was carried out by a team of US soldiers, and not a lone individual.

The US has insisted that only one person, Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, wandered off base and committed the entire massacre in a drunken rampage. Bales has been taken out of Afghanistan, and US officials told the team that an agreement with the Karzai government made US soldiers immune to trial inside Afghanistan. Karzai also accused the US of not cooperating with the probe.

The Afghan parliament has responded to the refusal to try Bales in the country by unanimously voting to withdraw from the existing military agreement with the US. Hameedzai says that Karzai has yet to sign he resolution, however.

If the NYT wants to survive it might pick up subscriptions from people who view websites like this by reporting this story and others like it. We don't know for certain yet if more than one soldier was involved, but the Afghan report should at least be reported in the US due to the long history of lies and deception from the US government and the US military.

It's only a matter of months before this guy is treated like the 'conquering hero'. The American media is spinning the yarn right now about how he was a 'good guy' who just broke down. Just trying to help those nasty Afghans who 'don't value life like we do'.

Seems inevitable: not just 'don't value life like we do,' but 'unlike ourselves, they're too wussy to raise their own flag when they whack their own.' I.e., a False-Flag-Awareness trend could work 'both ways' -possibly not changing a thing.

The "Shining Light on the Hill" has been virtually extinguished by an America beset with imperialism. Moreover, this war has made a mockery of international laws, covenants and conventions pursuant to the conduct of government and their assigned military personnel during a time of war.

the targets in the massacre villages were at least four kilometers north and south of the base …so how was it that activity in two villages, miles apart, in opposite directions from the base… didn't exclude the single shooter theory before witnesses were interviewed? Didn't our 'suspect' 'wander off base apparently drunk?'

Try selling that Kool Aid somewhere else Mark…………………… A shill for empire and a Mark too…. LOL…..!!!!!!!! Where do you get this stuff…….

Try this: When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier _of_ the Queen ……..

Who's your queen Mark…….. We really don't fight for Queens here anymore…….though. These days t's Mobil, Exxon Conoco……. Halburton… And there is also the matter of the "Islamic Bomb"…………… Our generosity… ??? You sure are some mark, Mark…….

It's indeed more likely that more than one man was involved in the slaughter of these innocent men women and children. The US/westren media have a tendency to whitewash such masscres (same as in Israel's Gaza and West Bank and Vietnam's Me Lay at the time) and sell it as isolated 'incidents'. However it shows the contempt these racist cowardly bastards have for people different cultures and religions as we have seen in past 'incidents': the burning of the Koran and urinating on dead bodies. That's what makes them to hate westerners and lies at the roots of world 'terrorism'. It's all of our own making…..

"It's all of our own making….. ," and all part of the plan. After all, without terrorism and "instability" in the "arc of instability" there would be no reason to maintain our level of military spending. Corporate profits and the careers of military brass and think-tank pundits would suffer enormously, and we can't have that.

We need to understand that these policies are not failures, but phenomenally successful.

[" All this election stuff is just kabuki for the rubes in fly over land. There is one party and it's the establishment party. [It] Doesn't matter which party wins the election. What you're going to get is more of the same because they're both part of the same crew. Because if you are a member of the establishment and you propose anything more than five degrees rudder change from current policy, you instantly cease to be a member of the establishment.

Regardless of who's in, regardless of what power, what party, all the rest of it. You are going to get more of the same because thats all the establishment is capable of doing. They insulate themselves from, reality by making sure that no one is ever heard who has a contrary opinion"]
